For his 7th Dakar, Santolino has picked up his first stage win since his debut on the rally in 2019 and has offered Sherco its 6th success on the race and first in Saudi Arabia, following stages won by David Casteu, Alain Duclos, Joan Pedrero and Mickael Metge.

“It was an almost perfect stage for me. I attacked in the rocks at the start to catch up with Pablo before we reached a fast plateau in a zone with more technical navigation where we rode together. I stayed focused all the time and attacked in front of him in the last hundred kilometres. I felt good on the bike, it was a good stage”
